اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 48

١ 1 تَسْبِيحَةٌ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ عَظِيمٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَحَمِيدٌ جِدًّا فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا، جَبَلِ قُدْسِهِ.

A song. A psalm of the Korahites. Great is the Lord and worthy all praise in the city of our God. His holy mountain,

٢ 2 جَمِيلُ ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ، فَرَحُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ. فَرَحُ أَقَاصِي ٱلشِّمَالِ، مَدِينَةُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ.

that rises so fair, is the joy of all the world. Like the mount of the gods is Mount Zion, the city of the great king.

٣ 3 ٱللهُ فِي قُصُورِهَا يُعْرَفُ مَلْجَأً.

Once God made himself known as the defence of her palaces.

٤ 4 لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلْمُلُوكُ ٱجْتَمَعُوا. مَضَوْا جَمِيعًا.

For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together.

٥ 5 لَمَّا رَأَوْا بُهِتُوا، ٱرْتَاعُوا، فَرُّوا.

But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay.

٦ 6 أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرِّعْدَةُ هُنَاكَ، وَٱلْمَخَاضُ كَوَالِدَةٍ.

Trembling took hold of them there, like the pains of a woman in labour.

٧ 7 بِرِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ تَكْسِرُ سُفُنَ تَرْشِيشَ.

They were shattered, as east wind shatters the giant ships in pieces.

٨ 8 كَمَا سَمِعْنَا هَكَذَا رَأَيْنَا فِي مَدِينَةِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ، فِي مَدِينَةِ إِلَهِنَا. ٱللهُ يُثَبِّتُهَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. سِلَاهْ.

What we heard, we now have seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, the city of our God. God will uphold her forever. (Selah)

٩ 9 ذَكَرْنَا يَا ٱللهُ رَحْمَتَكَ فِي وَسَطِ هَيْكَلِكَ.

We think, O God, of your love, in the midst of your temple.

١٠ 10 نَظِيرُ ٱسْمِكَ يَا ٱللهُ تَسْبِيحُكَ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. يَمِينُكَ مَلآنَةٌ بِرًّا.

Your fame, O God, like your name, shall extend to the ends of the earth. Victory fills your hand.

١١ 11 يَفْرَحُ جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ، تَبْتَهِجُ بَنَاتُ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ أَحْكَامِكَ.

Let mount Zion be glad; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

١٢ 12 طُوفُوا بِصِهْيَوْنَ، وَدُورُوا حَوْلَهَا. عُدُّوا أَبْرَاجَهَا.

Walk about Zion, go round her; count her towers.

١٣ 13 ضَعُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ عَلَى مَتَارِسِهَا. تَأَمَّلُوا قُصُورَهَا لِكَيْ تُحَدِّثُوا بِهَا جِيلًا آخَرَ.

Set your mind on her ramparts, consider her palaces; that you tell to the next generation

١٤ 14 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هَذَا هُوَ إِلَهُنَا إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. هُوَ يَهْدِينَا حَتَّى إِلَى ٱلْمَوْتِ.

That such is God, our God he it is who shall guide us for ever and ever.
